SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 769,346, dated September 6, 1904;. Application filed April 5, 1904. Serial No. 261,657. (No model.)

To a w/wm it may concern.-

struction' and combination of the parts here- 4 inafter fully described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of the apparatus. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the apparatus.

A is a tapering pole, one end of which is placed in a hole in the ground a, and B repre sents guy-ropes fastened to the upper end of the pole and staked to the ground, so that the pole is retainedin a vertical position. This pole can be moved about from as required.

C is a cross-arm, the middle part of which is provided with a bearing a, which is journaled loosely on a thimble D, which is clamped to the upper part of the pole. The thimble is made in halves or sections, so that it can be fitted to the taper of the pole and at any desired position, and it is provided with a flange d at its lower part for the bearing 0 to rest and revolve upon. E is a-similar thimble, which is formedvin halves or sections and clamped to the pole below the thimble D.

place to place The thimble E is provided with aflange e,

and E is a collar which rests and revolves upon the flange e.

F and G are two inclined braces. The upper ends of these braces are secured to the cross-arm upon opposite sides of the pole, and their lower ends are secured to the colla-r E.

Two sheaves f and g are journaled on pins f and g, which project from the opposite end portions of the cross-arm, and H is revolve.

a hoisting-rope which passes over the said sheaves and is secured at one end to the longer end portion of the cross-arm. I

' H is a fall-block carried by the said rope andprovided with a hook it for engaging with any approved form of manure-fork it. The other end portion of the rope passes over a, sheave c', which is journaled in a frame I, andthe end of the rope is preferably provided with .a Whffletree 71 for the attachment of a horse.

The frame I is journaled ona thimble J, which is formed of halves or sections which are clamped to the lower part of the pole. The thimble J is provided with flanges between which the bracket or frameI is free to The manure or other similar v substance is raised by the fork when the rope is pulled upon, and the cross-arm and other parts carried by the pole are then swung arou'nd'so thatthe load may be discharged onto a wagon.

What I claim is" In loading apparatus, the combination, with a tapering pole, and means for holding it in a vertical position; of three thimbles formed in sections provided with flanges and clamped to the said pole one above the other, a crosswhich revolves on the middle thimble, inclined braces between the said collar and the endportions of the crossarm, sheaves car- 'ried by the end portions of the cr0ssarm, a

frame journaled on the lower thimble, a sheave carried by the said frame, a lifting-rope passing over the said sheaves and having one end secured tothe said cross-arm, and a fall-block carried by the said rope and provided with means for supporting the load.

In testimony whereof I have'afiixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
